An Octagon Sharktank
Posted: Sat Apr 20, 2019 7:29 pm
Just for fun...
An Octagon Sharktank, an Easter special running for the next 72 hours, 8 different flavors of the latest bleeding edge Stockfish and derivatives with the relatively "long" time control of a 150 second base with a full 5 second increment - 40 positions will be selected at random ( via script using "jot") from a 200 handpicked positions that were handpicked to foster very sharp play,
Single thread , with 12 games running concurrently on a 12 Core ( real) Mac Pro
256 MB hash
Full 6 Man Syzygy on SSD drive.
All run on Bob Hyatt's csh scripts and match code, totally GUI less and automatic, including positing of results ( using a modified bayeselo) and games (slightly modified)
Fish Participating :
set eng1 = asmfish
set eng2 = corchess
set eng3 = matefinder ( not J Ellis's matefinder - but relatively close)
set eng4 = McCain-dev-042019
set eng5 = shashchess
set eng6 = sugar
set eng7 = stockfish
set eng8 = stockfish-042019 ( same as Stockfish, but it includes features from McCain)
It was kicked off at 12:56 PM today.
First results will be posted in about an here https://www.dropbox.com/s/0xr3pc1gmx7ch ... 1.txt?dl=1 and about every 40 minutes there after.
Alternatively, after every completion of 56 games ( one position with all engines playing white and black against the other engines) - each round will take about two hours https://www.dropbox.com/s/0xr3pc1gmx7ch ... 1.txt?dl=1
Games will be posted here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/khe6cvvcv5na0 ... s.pgn?dl=1
Note files will be blanked for while , until the completion of games , set by time or by completion round (56 games)
I have all sources of the above engines located or forked on my main Github page :
https://github.com/MichaelB7 asmfish and shashchess are separate repositories, the rest are branches under Stockfish
